Q & A / New chin owner, bites
« on: January 05, 2009, 07:58:00 PM »
I got a new chin 6 days ago. I grabbed her from petco and she was frantic there but not entirely aggressive. The first day or two I kind of sat back and let her get used to the new cage and home. Being a new chin owner I wanted to give her a treat. She refuses to eat the treat and will come up and sniff the treat, than she starts sniffing me and just bites me. I sit a lot next to the cage as I do homework, build puzzles, watch tv. I let her out twice in my bathroom which was a huge hassle to get her back in. I want nothing more than to just bond with her. I know it requires patience and time. But has anyone else ever had this problem and how did they resolve it. Or is it just she has to slowly get used to me.
